Join Milwaukee keyboardist Lucas Labau as he performs his own energetic take on the classic jazz standard “Mac the Knife.”

Originally made famous by Bobby Darin, this timeless tune has been part of Lucas’s repertoire since his early days learning jazz. In this performance, he adds his own flavor—mixing modern phrasing, rhythmic drive, and improvisational “sauce” to make the standard uniquely his own.

Lucas shares his love of jazz and the importance of learning the ever-growing list of standards that keep the genre alive at jam sessions and beyond.
